“…Nineteen reflective markers were attached to the user-wheelchair system. Detailed marker placements were reported previously (Lin et al, 2009). The upper extremity was assumed to be a four-segment-linkage system consisting of the trunk, upper arm, forearm, and hand.…”

“…Through training, it's possible to enhance the efficiency of the propulsion force although, simultaneously, the real mechanical efficiency decreases. From a mechanical viewpoint, application of a non-effective force might be ineffective, but in a physiological viewpoint might be the optimal solution for upper extremities injuries (Lin et al, 2009). One of the fundamental aspects for wheelchair propulsion analysis is the definition of the motor gesture made.…”

According to the literature, there's a lack of methods, procedures and equipments for proper physical assessment. Physical tests applied to persons with disabilities are questionable due to their lack of adaptation to the motor gesture executed in these equipments, which are not the same executed in real wheelchair propulsion. Within this, was designed and built at the Habilitation/Rehabilitation Center in Paralympic Sports/UFU the second version of a wheelchair ergometer prototype that allows physical evaluation, being faithful to the specificity of movements. The equipment has several electronic systems controlled by computer such as electromagnetic resistance system, load cell, torquemeter, dedicated circuits and acquisition system. Preliminary results indicate that the evolution became more practical for the evaluator and comfortable for the user. The addition of flywheels and new calibration method proved its efficiency by improving the signal acquired. New evaluation procedures for physical capacity look promising.

“…Neste sentido, é importante a prescrição adequada de cadeiras de rodas com vistas ao bom desempenho. Diversos fatores podem influenciar o desempenho da propulsão manual, desde a conformação física e as atividades realizadas pelo usuário até o modelo da cadeira de rodas (BERGSTRÖM; SAMUELSSON, 2006;HOWARTH et al, 2010;LIN;LIN;SU, 2009).…”

O 4º Congresso Brasileiro de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento de Tecnologia Assistiva (CBTA 2023) foi realizado de 06 a 10 de novembro de 2023, no Centro de Convenções do Hotel Canasvieiras Inn, em Florianópolis, Santa Catarina. Os CBTAs são ações da RPDTA (Rede de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento em Tecnologia Assistiva: ações integradas entre Engenharia Mecânica e Design), que congrega pesquisadores da UFPR, UFSC, UTFPR, UNESP-Bauru e da UDESC. Os CBTAs reúnem profissionais com interesse nas pesquisas em Tecnologia Assistiva, oriundos de diversas áreas, tais como: design, engenharia, educação, saúde, ergonomia, tecnologia da informação, entre outras. Nesta quarta edição, o congresso focou nas pesquisas em educação especial na perspectiva inclusiva, por meio da estimulação precoce e da reabilitação. O evento ofereceu palestras plenárias ministradas por pesquisadores nacionais e internacionais, mesas-redondas, sessões técnicas com apresentação oral dos trabalhos, oficinas práticas e workshops que proporcionaram vivências e o diálogo com pessoas com deficiência.
